Will it spread lime?

I use the pelletized lime in mine. The only problem that I encounter is toward the end, when most of the lime is distributed, you have to stop and break up the chunks of lime and then continue. What I try and do is wait until I have an area that I can not get into with my tractor, and then use the chunks for distribution by hand. Other then that it works very well with the pelletized lime.

It will spread lime just as long as it doesn't have chunks in it. It will not bust up chunks. It has a free flow opening that you set for whatever your spreading.

Yes it will spread lime. I used pelletized lime that I purchased at Home Depot for abort $4.00 per bag. I constantly had to stop because the lime was caking on the sides and was not freely flowing through the distribution hole. I don't know if it was an inferior brand of lime that did not hold it's pelletized characteristics, or if the problem was with the spreader. In the future I will use my push spreader where it's easier to see what's happening and I can better control the situation.

It will spread pelletized lime .Ag lime will cake as it is to fine to flow.

It does, but only because the legs will spread very wide. I like mine though.

Not a chance. The mixing element is not strong enough for something so thick.

I just spread fine granular quick acting lime and it did not stick to the wheels.Damp or wet ground will cause any particles to stick.

I haven't tried limes. I have juiced lemons with the peel sliced into sections. It worked great!

I use it on my small kaffir lime plant but to be sure and not cause a chemical burn I chop the stake into 1/4 and use once a season. Hope this is helpful.

I have not used this spreader to spread salt (sodium chloride). The fertilizer I have spread is granular like salt and works fine. Thing you may want to consider are:1. The spread pattern can be up to twenty feet wide and you may not want salt everywhere.2. The salt needs to be dry to insure good flow in the spreader.3. The salt can be corrosion to metal parts, so you have to clean the spreader after use (fertilizer or salt).

Yes, I bought this specifically for pealing citrus fruit for cocktails. Works well on grapefruit, oranges lemons and limes. Depending on how much pressure you apply, it will or will not leave the white part of the rind behind.

This machine does a great spreading job for powdered lime and other soil sweeteners if the material is kept dry .Also tall wet grass should not be allowed to contact the discharge slot or the lime will get wet and clog up and then not spread

I do not believe so. This is mainly used to zest fruit-limes , lemons , oranges

I don't believe so - that is unless the cinder mix is very fine. The spreader does great with grass seed or lawn fertilizer, but I think it would have a tendency to clog with larger grain material. But -- I've never tried spreading cinders with it.

It would take a lot of rubbing. It is for surface oxidation and slight calcium buildup. Try Lime-a-way.

Yes. You may have to press down the lime with your hand over the rotating core.

Yes it will if it is spread pretty heavy. I dont know if it is lightly spread.

Does a great job on apples, but never tried on limes. My guess would be no, since the cutter was designed for an apple, and it cores the center

I believe it will but it must be applied evenly and quickly or else it will dry bumpy and slightly raised. The contents of the product has to be mixed and it dries very quickly. You might have better success with a product that is like putty. Hope this helps.
